Robert Irwin has recently shared insights into the challenges of dating while being a contestant on Dancing With the Stars. The 21-year-old conservationist and son of the late Steve Irwin opened up about the difficulties he faces in the spotlight during an interview with The New York Times, published on November 23.
Dating Challenges in the Public Eye
Irwin expressed that navigating the dating landscape is particularly tough due to constant media attention. “Holy moly, that’s so challenging to navigate,” he stated. The overwhelming nature of public scrutiny can complicate romantic pursuits, as he noted, “anything you do will be on TikTok the next day.”
Staying True to Himself
Despite the external pressures, Robert emphasizes that he remains true to himself. He asserted, “I never change what I say, what I do, who I am one bit, wherever I am.” Irwin clarified that he has “no persona to hide behind,” allowing him to maintain authenticity.
Finding Solace in Australia
When the pressures of fame become overwhelming, Robert finds comfort in his home country. He mentioned, “I can always head back to Australia,” where he enjoys surfing most mornings. For him, surfing is more than just a sport; he describes it as “my meditation. It’s my church. It’s my everything.”
